Sharm El Sheikh

Intro

What’s the weather like in Sharm El Sheikh in September?

Sitting at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, Sharm El Sheikh has a hot desert climate and, thanks to North Africa’s Atlas Mountains, there’s virtually no rain all year round. Sharm El Sheikh has two distinct seasons; a long and hot summer from March to October and a slightly cooler winter from November to February. September’s one of the hottest months though the Red Sea does help to keep temperatures down a little on the coast.
